Heinrich Jacob Bashuysen

Bashuysen published Abravanel's commentaries on the Pentateuch, and intended to edit the entire work in four volumes.

In 1701 he was appointed ordinary professor of Oriental languages and ecclesiastical history at the Protestant gymnasium of Hanau, and in 1703 became professor of theology in that institution (Bashuysen's father was preacher in the Dutch Reformed Church of the city).

He also entertained the idea of amplifying Otho's Historia Doctorum Mishnicorum by adding the Amoraim.
